Artist History My parents started me in classical guitar lessons when I was about 9. By the time I was in junior high school, I'd quit because I didn't think it was cool. By the time I was about 14 or 15 though, I realized that playing guitar was actually VERY cool and picked it up again, this time taking lessons to play blues on an electric. At 17 I started taking classical lessons again, because at that point I just didn't care wether it was cool or not. That didn't last long, however, because I soon moved out and couldn't really expect my parents to keep on paying for lessons, and I was too cheap. Again, I petered out and stopped playing at about 22. Now I'm 29. I bought my first steel string acoustic 3 years ago. Until recently I avoided the whole cool/non-cool issue by just playing for myself. I really enjoy the simplicity of the acoustic folky instrument that a steel string guitar is. I purchased the 4 track about 2 years ago however, and have really enjoyed constructing songs on it. A friend at work recommended I put my stuff up on mp3.com and so I did. Here it all is, so far, and I'll be putting up more as I make it, so check back!

Press Reviews No press has reviewed me so far. This made my day when I received it in an email from this page, though: "Love the overall feel and your style of playing. Keep up the good work, man, and keep 'em coming."
